Abstract

Attoliter scale liquid handling Contact angle Laplace pressure Nanofluidics Control and Systems Engineering
This paper reports a method of handling attoliter (aL=10 L) scale liquid in pressure-driven nanofluidic control systems. In order to achieve this, nonmechanical valve was developed that utilized nano-in-nano structure fabricated by two-step etching process using e-beam lithography and dry etching.
